DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project seeks support for the development of a novel mechanically responsive material system to study the relationship between local cell-level mechanical perturbation and cell response to chemical-physical biomaterial surface properties. The coating is based on a magnetoelastic material that can be remotely set to vibrate at a predetermined amplitude and profile. We hypothesize that local sub-cellular mechanical stimulus can be used to optimize substrate-cellular interactions to improve the long-term stability at the tissue-implant interface. Ultimately we hope to use these coatings as a real-time system for modulation and monitoring the surface of implantable biomaterials. Preliminary experiments have indicated that submicron localized vibrations, such as those generated by the proposed vibration coating, could potentially be coupled with tailored biomaterial surface properties to selectively control cellular adhesion and gene expression to promote and maintain proper integration at the implant-tissue interface. The specific goal of this proposal is to characterize the relationship between small local vibrations, substrate material surface character, and concomitant cellular response to applied vibrations. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: To date, there are no effective technologies for controlling the long-term deterioration of the biomaterial-tissue interface in implantable devices. Although this i an area of intense study with many novel approaches involving coatings and surface treatments, these approaches do not allow for in situ modulation of therapeutic effects. By developing the technology outlined in this proposal, it may be possible to monitor implant behavior as well as affect changes in the local mechanical and chemical environment. In addition, the results of this proposal will further impact the understanding of local vibrations asa therapeutic tool. Only recently has the mechanism of larger amplitude and frequency vibration (ultrasound) therapeutic effects on cell behavior become clearer. Our focal site-specific approach may lead to new strategies and applications for the use of these platform coatings in implantable biomaterials.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目寻求支持新型机械响应材料系统的发展，以研究局部细胞水平的机械扰动与细胞对化学物理生物材料表面特性的关系。该涂层基于磁弹性材料，该材料可以远程设置以在预定的幅度和轮廓下振动。我们假设局部亚细胞机械刺激可用于优化底物 - 细胞相互作用以提高长期稳定性 在组织植入物界面处。最终，我们希望将这些涂层用作调节和监测可植入生物材料表面的实时系统。初步实验表明，亚微米局部振动（例如由提出的振动涂层产生的振动）可能与定制的生物材料表面特性相结合，以选择性地控制细胞粘附和基因表达，以促进和维持在植入物 - 象征界面上适当的整合。该提案的具体目标是表征小局部振动，底物材料表面特征和伴随细胞对应用振动的响应之间的关系。 公共卫生相关性：迄今为止，尚无有效的技术来控制可植入设备中生物材料组织界面的长期恶化。尽管这是一项激烈的研究领域，采用许多涉及涂层和表面处理的新方法，但这些方法不允许原位调节治疗作用。通过开发该提案中概述的技术，可以监测植入物行为并影响当地机械和化学环境的变化。此外，该提案的结果将进一步影响对局部振动ASA治疗工具的理解。直到最近，才具有更大的振幅和频率振动（超声）对细胞行为的治疗作用的机制。我们的焦点特定地点方法可能会导致在植入式生物材料中使用这些平台涂料的新策略和应用。
